The Russian authorities, according to reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Roman Svitan, will justify themselves in the eyes of society and replace the concept in order to explain the defeat in Ukraine and the withdrawal of troops by the “preservation” of the Russian Federation.
The Kremlin wants to pass off defeat in the war against Ukraine as victory. Roman Svitan, a military expert and reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, spoke about this on the air of Channel 24 on February 27.
According to him, the Russian authorities have already begun to prepare the population for defeat in the war, and in the media infraspace of the Russian Federation they are increasingly talking about the threat of Russia’s collapse.
“The Kremlin is already beginning to prepare the Russians to leave Ukraine, and to leave with defeat. They are already drawing up such scenarios and psychologically preparing the Russians for the fact that the Russian army will leave Ukrainian territory,” he said.
According to Svitan, the Russian military-political leadership will justify itself in the eyes of society and replace the concept in order to explain the defeat in Ukraine and the withdrawal of troops by the “preservation” of the Russian Federation.
“This is a good psychological mechanism to strengthen the spirit of Russians and stay in power,” Svitan said.
According to the expert, after the withdrawal of the Russian Armed Forces from the territory of Ukraine, they will hold the borders in the Belgorod, Kursk and Bryansk regions and will file this for “protecting the state from the terrible West.”
In Moscow, at a concert in Luzhniki on February 22, Putin released a kart double on stage instead of himself. Political technologists believe that a fake Putin spoke to the Russians, because the real one is afraid to appear in public.
The autumn counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine “shocked” Russian President Vladimir Putin and became the reason for the announcement of “shared mobilization” at the end of last year. This is stated in the daily analytical material of the “Institute for the Study of War” for February 26. According to analysts, Putin even consulted with Russian military personnel about the positions of the Russian Armed Forces on the battlefield.
